    My Partner and I have visited Akaroa three times, the views are absolutely beautiful, the French heritage is evident, gardens are well maintained around the village. There are lots of little shops, cafes and restaurants to suit all.

    Lots to do here. Great shops and cafes/restaurants.

    Lots to do here. Great shops and cafes/restaurants. You must sail on the Fox II to see the dolphins, penguins and seals and learn about the local history. Outstanding! Very walkable town and also some good hiking.

    Akaroa is a must-visit township, it has some amazing cafes/restaurants, and the food is great and varied. Some of them have both inside and outside seating so it is lovely to take advantage of that on a nice day. There are also some great wee shops to visit where you can find a treasure of two. We found a gin-tasting cafe that is a must-visit when you are there and also an Indian Restaurant whose food was amazing. All the shops and cafes are within walking distance if your accommodation is in town. There are some great walks to go on and we also went swimming with the dolphins which is an experience I highly recommend when you are in Akaroa.

    We loved the quaint historic town.

    We loved the quaint historic town. We loved its French flavour. The cafe’s and restaurants outstanding especially Ma Maison where we had the best meal ever. The food, the flavours and the welcoming staff, outstanding! We had breakfast at The Common, again fabulous. We loved walking round the bay to the quay. Everyone was so friendly and happy to stop and talk. At the end of the quay was the prize, the beautiful pearl shop, an absolute must to visit. We can’t wait to return. Already planning a longer trip.

    Akaroa is a lovely historic town with many lovely old cottages and a beautiful harbour. Lots of things to do eg. dolphin watching, nearby cheese factory and winery, Eastern Bays Scenic Mail Run. Lovely cafes and art galleries.

    I have been a regular visitor as my French ancestors founded it. The only thing that stops me coming more often is that dangerous-feeling hill up and down. Nice, quiet (mostly) place that focuses on food, events and nature. Need to put in a lot more effort to add more genuine French flavour to shops and activities. A simple Bonjour is not too difficult. Akaroa's true French nature is being dumbed down by new arrivals who are only interested in commerical gain.

    The location was quiet, loved waking up to the birdsong. The cottage had everything we needed, good cooking facilities, good sized fridge, washing facilities and the bed was very comfortable. The couches were comfortable. The pool was an extra bonus. Loved being away from the busy Akaroa village yet only 5 minutes away by car. Very much looking forward to staying again.

    Absolutely beautiful cottage in an amazing location with incredible views. Had everything we needed in the cottage. The gardens were spectacular, there was a separate laundry on the grounds which was very handy. The location was a very short drive drive into town which we absolutely loved. I definitely want to return to Akaroa one day

    Location was superb as was the view. Place was tidy, comfortable and warm and we really enjoyed the balcony as the sun went down. There is a restaurant/bar below and we were worried that that noise might affect us but it didn't, I guess the people in holiday in Akaroa at this time of year are really chilled

    Wonderful little cottage so close to Akaroa, we had a lovely three nights. A 15 min walk down to the town was perfect and another couple of minutes to the beach. The cottage was great and had everything we needed for our couple days. Highly recommend this cottage it's a perfect base for exploring Akaroa!

    HONESTY! As I got a message from bookings after I checked out that the house cleaner found my phone in my room. After a few calls with hotel staff, they went an extra effort to help get the phone returned to me. Many thx for that. My stay at the Grand Hotel was pleasant, and the food was good.

    We needed a room in Akaroa as attending a workshop, so location was very good for us. We arrived quite late after a long drive from Nelson, and the host was so kind to still be available and have the bar open for an end-of-day brew. Parking right behind the house was a breeze.

    In the end we did not stay in the Summerhouse as Anne kindly upgraded us to the cottage at no extra expense as the weather was forecast to be a bit unsettled Therefore this review applies to the cottage.
